The "Design Engineer Friendly" psu!

Ideal Power offer a wide range of very competitively priced linear and switched-mode AC/AC and AC/DC external power supplies. The extensive range of physical chassis options available includes plug-top, desk-top and interchangeable and typical applications include consumer, industrial, computing, medical, communications and security.

Ideal Power make every effort to ensure that their range of External Power Supply Units meet all the latest worldwide approvals. This includes ErPII where Ideal Power’s complete range of External PSU’s comply with this exacting standard.

Most standard products are available from our extensive stockholding and Ideal Power’s UK based IP Support Engineering Team are happy to assist design engineers with modified-standard and full custom designs encompassing alternative input and output voltages and current, frequency range, power consumption, output voltage regulation, ripple and noise characteristics, efficiency and alternative plug-types for specific regions. At Ideal Power the customer’s needs are paramount to such an extent that requirements for bespoke products from 100 pieces upwards can be catered for.

The External Interchangeable Power Supply range from Ideal Power further improves the versatility of external PSUs by allowing multifunctional use as either a plug-top or a desk-top power supply in one unit and features an interchangeable plug-top allowing end users to select the correct AC plug type for the country it is to be used in. The ability to convert between a plug-top and desk-top power supply allows the same product to operate in difficult locations, where under-floor or gangway sockets prevent traditional plug-tops from being used.

To complete their range of external power supply products Ideal Power also offers an 8-way set of DC connectors enabling thepolarity of the DC output to be changed by adding an adapter which allows the PSU to be used in both centre positive or centre negative configuration.

Jon Vallis, Sales & Marketing Manager of Ideal Power, comments, “Our very wide range of competitively priced external power supplies together with our experienced UK based team of applications engineers, who can support our customers specialised requirements, really make Ideal Power a design engineer friendly company to do business with.”

The Ideal Power IP Support team has over 40 years of experience in the power supply industry and provides local assistance throughout the whole design process from concept, design, quotations, samples and testing to approvals and standards compliance, shipping, stock-holding and after-sales service.
